snapper Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Well some of you know I bought a new truck back in Dec. ('08 leftover). Its a GMC 1500 crew cab...but it wasn't just a GMC truck...it was the Big Ben package truck (only 7 made). Basically it had all the "goody's" that we add on after buying a new truck ie: stainless step bars, custom grill, custom exhast, 20" wheels, and Ben Rothenburgers signature on the doors, tailgate, and the head rests of the front seats and more goody's... Well because I bought this truck...me and the other 6 Big Ben truck owners got a personal invite to meet Ben. Total of about 15 people...two hours of pictures, autographs, video and bs'ing. I was impressed...he is a nice guy and was real good with the few kids that were there. When I get time...I'll post up some pictures...and when I find out more details about the video (which I'm prob. going to be in )...I'll hook up a link or two.

muggs Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Did the league's best defense and running game come with him? After all, they're what's made him.:D Just kidding, that had to be cool- I'd love to meet any Browns player, even if they do suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Metal Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 That is sooo cool! Sounds like an awesome ride! Show some pics of your truck dude!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAhunter14 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Have seen big ben and other Steeler players in person but never really got to meet them. Sounds like you had a good time. And btw, they only made seven of those trucks and there were some left over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 They sold the last 3 at the end of year ('08), mine being one of them. It was considered a left over because the '09's were on the lot. They are making the '09 Big Ben trucks now...so I'm assuming the '08's weren't availble til April/May of '08...plus they were alittle pricey. I got a good deal because of the time of year and it was when the economy was going south in a hurry. I'll try to take a few pics when its cleaned up...it just looks like a black GMC crew cab...but with his sig. on the head rests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Sounds great. Now let's see the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Truck... Me with Ben signing my superbowl hat... Ben signing my brothers hat... And Ben letting a kid sign his hat...I must say, like him or not...he was really good with the couple of kids there. Ben took off his own black Nike hat and had this 5 year old boy sign his name and baseball number on it with a silver sharpie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJL Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My wife drives one just like that, except it's white and doesn't have all of the BB extra's. Sweet Ride. Did you have the chance to ask Ben , "What's Natilie Gulbis look like naked?"...............I would have:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
